Can't watch videos online

[Sssae]

I can't get videos online to play. Usually when I reload that page it will fix itself, but I have reloaded more than 10 times now and it still has the problem. I have tried many sites for the same video, and some tell me "format is not supported or server/network failed"(?) while others like HTML5 just shows a black screen. HTML5 plays on rare occasions but loads very slowly.

The problem started 2-3 days ago and worsened over time. Just yesterday I could still get a few videos to play on HTML5, but by nightfall none of the players worked. I realised it coincides with around the time Google Chrome had an update, but I'm not sure if the update caused the problem, since I tried different browsers and still couldn't fix it.

I have also already tried clearing browser history, clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling chrome, restarting my phone and downloading a flash player, but none of them worked. Reading similar forum posts on the problem also didn't reap any results.

Is there anything else I can do? Any replies are much appreciated. Thanks

Uninstall the chrome update and try again. If it works, you know it's the update.

I tried that, and it didn't fix the problem either.

Thanks for the tip, but I checked and JavaScript is turned on.

oh ! Sorry For That !
Then Last option Is That , In settings Or Advance Settings of Chrome, Un-Check The " Use Hardware acceleration When available"

I don't seem to have that option for chrome. The problem sort of resolved itself just now, though I don't think it was the sites or links that were down...? Still, thanks for all the advice offered .
